Old Errol:wood fence gate wheel building a cement work pad area Vlog 2

- In today's installation I will be improving upon the entrance gate. Pretty much I need to install a wheel on my driveway gate. Because the wood causes a lot of issues when the gate gets cold. In this particular video I will be drilling two holes. And installing the gate. The key to drilling the holes is to drill the holes lower than where you mark them. So that the wheel will constantly be under tension.

Thought it was a very good video. and worked great for my grade and application. Beside the mistake the have overly pointed out., My focus was on the wheel. Thank you Sir for posting and I found it very helpful.
Thank you for explaining in detail how to put the load on the spring wheel. I have no clue how to do any of this stuff, you made it simple to understand!
You made my heart smile 😊. Glad I was able to help.
nice work. just a little tip from a Danish carpenter. next time you make a gate try to make the diagonal piece the other way. It has to go from the bottem corner by the hinge op to the top corner. that way your gate wont sink and go down and tuch the terrain. Love from Denmark
I appreciate that
Couple things you did wrong here. You could have added wood to were you wanted to mount it, 2 you should have shimmied up the fence before drilling the homes and mounting the wheel so the spring takes the pressure, shim it up allot higher so when the wheel is mounted with wheel on floor when fence drops the spring load hold it up. Also spin the bolts around and use stainless or galvanised bolts that wont rust and aren't dissimilar metal of the wheel metal
I was about to ask, how do you know where the screws go for best tension. Thank you.
I really just guessed. I tried put in as much tension on the gate wheels pride to install in this. Because once the gate gets wet. it comes down a little bit more than normal.
Hi good idea with the wheel. The main reason your gate has dropped is because the diagonal braces should be going the other corner to corner. the way they are fitted are not supporting the gate from sagging
Thanks. Me and my new Neighbor was just discussing how bad of a construction my gate was. now hes install in his own gate and shown the proper way that it should have been done.
Correct 👍
@@olderrol1968 hey brother , I'm Mexican and it really appreciate your idea .
Gracias amigouuuuu
That you for your kind words. 👍
Thank you my brother for this public service. Blessings to you and your family
Thanks a bunch 🙂
Thank you for the video. I have 2 large wooden gates at the entrance to my property, Came here to find out how to attach the wheels I am looking at. Your video gave me just the info I was looking for. Thanks.
Great video! You answered like three of my questions just by watching. Very helpful! Thanks Errol!
Glad I was able to help 👍
Thank you fir making this video. I’ve been fighting with my gate fir the past 4 years and had no idea what I could do with it. This is extremely helpful!!
I've learned over the years that my fence wasn't properly built. Was not built with the proper support post. So that may have been your issue.
Thank you for making this video. It gives me great ideas on what to do for my gate.
Maintenance of the fence and gates can sometimes be a pain. Lol
Thank You. I am getting one for my new gate.. It looks cold AF!!!! Stay warm bro!
It does the job. Lol
Errol you’re an American hero.
Lol.😊 i,am just trying to give back to the TH-cam community.
Thanks 😊 that help me a lot 🙌🏻
Thanks! This was exactly what I needed!
😊 glad I was able to help
Very useful video. I'll be doing something similar to my driveway gates. It might help you if the diagonal cross-bracing on the back of the gates is mounted in the opposite direction, meaning that its low end is at the hinge side of the gate and the high end of the cross-bracing is at the opening side of the gate leaf. That way, the cross bracing will be able to support the gate leaf from sagging. But you have to make sure that all the joints or fixings that connect the cross-bracing to the gate leaf are tight and secure so that all the force of the gate leaf that wants to sag is transmitted into the bracing. Hinges also have to be securely fixed to the gate leaf. Hope this helps you. Thanks for the video.
I will most definitely look in to putting some kind of brace on the gate in the future.
What you should have done is lifted the gate up slightly so when fitted it sat down on the spring a little bit
I will definitely keep that in mind. Thank you 👍
@@olderrol1968 ground all looks pretty level that it’s rolling on but taking some slack up on the spring means that if there’s a dip in the ground the spring will travel to meet the ground otherwise the wheel will just hang in mid air and be of no benefit
@@davidktd : The gate drops when It gets wet from the rain.
@@olderrol1968 all ok. All good though. I’ve got to fit mine on a new set of gates.
Yeah. I find at the gate wheels itself. Wear's out is out over a period of time.😣. Home depot should have them in stock.
The bolt should have been inserted from the outside of the gate for a cleaner look. Also, I would have compressed a little bit of the spring before mounting the caster wheel to the gate so that it would take some of the load off of the gate hinge.
Most definitely. I'll look into that.
I think it would be easier to cut the door only half centimeter (or more, if you need) in the low part. If you look in the first seconds you can see that the boards have different measures. Greetings.
I agree kindly.
Should of turn the bolts around so make it attractive, flush with side so it will not sag on anything and make it look professionally done.
Thanks man. I might try that when I get home. That's why I pays to have smart people around. LOL
I would just say that, though the wheel wouldn't be central on the vertical wood of the gate, I think you would have still had enough strength in the wood if it had been put a bit to the right. You could always still move it, but you would need to glue in some wooden dowel to fill the drilled holes to be able to drill new holes fairly close to the old ones. As for the bolts, if the nuts still come loose, buy some nyloc nuts. They should only be a few cents and they won't vibrate off the threads like those normal nuts. Otherwise good job pal.
The was it is works pretty well .
Yes. I feel accomplished. LOL it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. But it came out great in the end
old Errol lol how can we get married! I love that your hands on.
Cristen Brown : was having a messed up week. Until I saw your comment. You definitely made my day with that comment. I appreciate the acknowledgement
old Errol I'm happy I did that. Gf#2
+Cristen Brown : thank you and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. If you were in the Baltimore area. I would have you ride with me. About to take a ride just to clear my mind and get away from the city for a little bit. Need a change of scenery
old Errol I'm mostly in nyc when I shoot to the east. And in silver springs when I'm in Baltimore. Sooner or later will take that ride. Sounds refreshing.
Errol....great advice I needed.
Glad I was able to help
Your gate sagged because your brace piece is the wrong way ,it ought to be bottom to top from the hinged side .Exactly opposite to the way it is now
Ok thanks. I am thinking do wire brace.
Thank you soo much!! I will be putting this on my gate today!!
If you get bolts long enough you can put wheels on the front of the gate and the back of the gate.
@@olderrol1968
Get idea!! Anything to make this task easy..Thank you!!
Good luck. And be safe. Glad I was able to help 😊
Thanks for this video. And some of the comments below look really useful. But so far, you keep saying "fence" when I think you meant "gate". Yeah, the gate is made out of the fence material, but to me, this is the GATE because it rolls open and shut...it's not the fence that is around it one side or another.
Sorry my English is not great at times.
Next time organize yourself and put a shimm bellow the gate and then measure with the wheel and then drill in that way the opening is going to be easier
Thank you for that advice
Using same caster on my gate but using one on each side with all thread and nuts instead of bolts.
They did provide better support?
Great video, we make this spring loaded gate wheel in our factory.
What's the brand?. Because people have been having issues purchasing the one like in the video you see see.
Man Thank You for This Video!! I’m going to be mounting one of these wheels myself today on a single gate that has begun to sag in the exact same way that yours has (same spot too).
That wheel was a big help
I just found Northern Tool’s item 60993 which is a 400-lb-rated double wheel. A reviewer pointed up its bracket and U-bolt fit a FENCE pipe 1 & 5/-6”. Since my GATES are of 2” pipe I’ll modify the bracket and use 2 per gate section. That should over-engineer it. Thanks again for showing us the way. 👍
That sounds like it's going to work even better than the one I have .i would love to see the finished product.
Lol sounds like me. Rather build it once and over engineer.
great video I'm about to do this exact same thing
The gate wheel was definitely needed. I ended up putting 2 gate wheels on that same gate .lol😂
Your Gate hasn't enough support for the weight, Sure a wheel then takes all the support of the weight but then your dragging a wheel every time you open or close the gate. I can tell by the bottom of your fence panels that the whole gate is drooping, It doesn't look as if your gate was framed correctly
What Farmers and fence builders been done for Hundreds of years you take a cable or wire from the top of the gate by the top hinge near the post down to the bottom of the gate at the opening and put a turn buckle in the middle of the wire or cable and tighten until it takes the droop out
I think I have an idea of what you're mentioning about the cable. But the individuals that made my gate . Drop the ball for sure I can tell when I look at my neighbor who is building his gate right now. The post he is using for his gates are much thicker.
The gate isn't supported correctly.The diagonal should be on the opposite side. I would have put a board under the gate to get it off the ground then the gate would have been supported by the wheel.
Do you think it's a good idea to Double up on the wheels?
Cool, thanks bro.
No problem. Glad to help.
Put another wheel on the other side just like the one you put on
Awesome👍👍
How much was the wheel at Home Depot? The rubber pieces are called Grommets. Rubber Grommets. Cheers mate!!! Excellent job!
Thank you. Honestly don't remember how much I purchased to get wheels for. There are getting quite hard to find.
I just built a new gate, 6x6 posts heavy duty, 12ft opening 2 6ft gates even though it dont sag I think I'll put spring wheels on anyway.
It won't hurt.
Good job
Thanks. Gotta do some adjustments on it though . Someone told me in a common section to make some changes
Thanks Errol! Subscribed 💪🏾
I appreciate . Open the start making videos again want to show you guys how to meant in the fences a cheap and easy way.
Good job man!
Thank you. It not perfect. But it helps.
i am dealing with this only a chain length gate hope this works cause i have a bad disc and i got to make it easier
I hope so too.
I think the brace 2x4 is on the opposite side!
Maybe.i don't think the people that install the fence Where professionals. We're professionals
Put another on the other side just like the one you put on
Something like this?th-cam.com/video/DmUnJeCU2GY/w-d-xo.html
holy shit....
On my fence i put cement pavers where the wheels rest. On that gravel the wheels will dig a hole eventually.
I had but down some black top
George do you have a picture of your gate wheel setup? Mine are rolling on grass(more like mud now) and I’m looking to see what I can do to keep the wheels from digging in further.
This is a updated video th-cam.com/video/DmUnJeCU2GY/w-d-xo.html
You may want to go to home depot. And grab a bag of gravel and a bag of Black top
@@lizzyowls1017 no, I do not. But I just set down a paver for each wheel where they sit on dirt. But my gate opens out into a back alley and it is paved up to the gate. So once I start to open the gate it transfers to the pavement. If I had to go over gravel or grass, etc, i would figure out a way to attach tires such as wheelbarrow tires as they are made for going over grass and gravel.
Good effort but men u need to upgrade on tools,i was suffering to see u use that jigsaw
That's what happens when you're on a Budget.lol
Thanks for supporting my channel, subbed and liked! Take care!
+The Denying Dutchman : yes sir. I am more than grateful to be a part of something positive.
wouldn't it be easier to shim the fence with something under the end of the fence for the height you wanted?
I wanted to wheel. because every time the fence itself gets wet it sags
@@olderrol1968 he meant shim it up then mount the wheel so the wheel spring took the presure
you should have depressed the spring and marked your holes thus raising the gate up. Still a good video trial and error teaches us all . Enjoyed your commentary too
I added a extra gate wheel. Uploaded a new video about a month ago.
@@olderrol1968 I will definitely check it out. Your personality kept me tuned in for sure. You have a good attitude, especially talking through issues that come up. Very helpful because I am installing some tomorrow. Should be pretty interesting since I just had a total knee replacement 2 weeks ago and am stuck getting around on a walker. We shall see though. Might have to call my kid over to help.
@@glenncauser9427 ;good luck with the gate.hope you make a full recovery. I'am just just coming off surgery my. Was able to cut my recovery time from 6 months to 2 and a half months.
@@olderrol1968 thanks and I am glad you had such a speedy recovery. I saw the doctor and physical therapist today. Both said I am doing well, and better than expected. Take care
👍😊
Why didn’t you just brace the gate up so the wheel could go in easier and at the right tension level?
I guess I figured with the will being Spring loaded. It would have automatically adjusted the gate in the proper position.
old Errol: I guess it worked. But the usual way is to brace or wedge the gate to the height you require and you wouldn’t have to fight to spot the hole marks or insert the bolts.
I got a large metal fence that a customer requires bracing and will need a similar solution and your video was partly used to show the customer the type of solution I had in mind. Cheers.
@@augustussmith5746 ; To be honest with you it was a learn as I go process.
Thanks for your video. I just discovered this kind of face-of-gate-mounted wheel. My gate is heavy so I may reverse engineer one of these to use heavy-duty parts. I wish somebody has already a sturdier one. Anybody know of one? Good job.
The gate wheel mount is a great idea . but I wish the spring was stronger.
@@olderrol1968 where did you buy the wheel?
@@powerstuffup : At The Home Depot
@@olderrol1968 cool thanks for replying
No problem. Remember you can always double up on the gate wheels if one is not enough
I bought the same gate rollers , and new gate panels
Do you really think anybody cares that you bought the same stuff? Get a life man.
@@charlesirvine7592 how about you not take the 3 seconds to comment I’ve read people post stupider things than that
I care. There doing something positive. And if there happy. I'am happy for them.
I love my friend keep the positive energy flowing 🙏
👍🏽
Meant to ask how big are the wheels?
I'am not sure.but wish the wheel was much larger.
You could of just trimmed the the bottom boards with a saw boom finished in 5mins then back in side where it’s warm.
I wish it was that eazy. Trimming the bottom of the fence.does not stop the gate from dropping down.
I just want to ask where can I buy this heavy duty wheel support? Thanks much...
Tractor supply should have them. Or home depot
Amazon has them now as well. I also purchased a U shaped 2” double bolt to attach mine from a local ma & pa hardware store. These wheels work GREAT on Single and Double Gates. If you have a double gate that is sagging also install a turn buckle it will Help Tremendously and is super easy to install as well. Hope this helps.
You should have taken the bracket off and then put youre bolts in
Yeah you got issues all right.
😄😄😄🤣🤣🙃. I'm trying to make the best of it.
Where can I find that spring loaded wheel at
Home depot
What an awful bodge job. You should be embarrassed to publish that video
Gezzzz get to the point
Lol😁
Folks buy the instead.. much easier and a permanent fix - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HM34HPP/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1JYRWRLM76ONY&psc=1
There's a guy in a previous video your catching him up in the asshole department
Have the same problem...lol.
When it gets cold the gate gets heavier. I'm thinking about reinforcing the Spring inside the wheel
Make it wooden with the help of the Woodbex plans instructions.
Is that the name of a company?
